Here are twelve true tales of men whose ingenuity and determination would not permit them to languish in confinement. Some were famous, some not; some imprisoned justly, some unjustly, but all had that extra measure of human dignity that would not accept chains.

Murder it was. and the story of how D'Arcy, a lovely girl, a gang of vicious swindlers, art dealers, and questionable lawyers got tangled up in a plot involving practically everything unlawfull -- including grave robbing, violence, larceny, and murder -- makes some of the smoothest, most excititing and entertaining mystery reading you've done in some time...

The Committee on Undergrauate Teaching was formed in 1964 in response to an obvious and urgent need to improve college teaching and to give it greater importance. Almost as obvious was the opportunity to achieve both better teaching and more emphasis upon it in the colleges and universitities.The memorandum which follows evolved from the discussions of the Committee over a period of three years, from ideas and text contributed by individual members, and from the voluminous and growing literature on learning and teaching. Throughout its deliberations, the Committee had at hand an extensive bibliography prepared under the direction of its Executive Director, Dr. James L. Jarrett. It was also aware of prior experimentation with college teaching, and of experiments in progress. The initial drafts of the memorandum were prepared by the Executive Director. The most advanced of these drafts was subsequently revised by the Chairman, in accorance with the Committee's suggestions. The final editing was complete by Dr. Paul L. Ward, a member of the Committee.

When free-lance writer Nick Saltire arrives in the town of Textilia, North Carolina, he little suspects he is destined to do for this charming little backwater what Sherman did for Georgia. Nick, familiar only with history as it is written in books and presented by Yankee publishers, is only too willing to go along with the commonly held notion that the Civil War ended at Appomattox. Indeed, his primary interest in history may be said to be limited to the dates that appear on his paychecks.Unfortunately, history is now his job. For Pierre Mindleberg, a textile tycoon who virtually ovens Textilia, lock, stock, and cracker barrel, has decided there can be no finer contribution to the town's Civil War Centennial than an account of the noble part played in the Great Conflict by the Mindleberg Textile Mills. There is, however, one small stumbling block-a Mindleberg ancestor whose role in the war could not be called exactly heroic. It could be called many things-but definitely not heroic.Undeterred, and despite distractions-distractions that take the forms of a pretty research assistant and a local heiress and a buxom carhop-Nick plunges into the past and emerges with a bundle of mysteriously coded letters. In them lies a revelation that transforms a dead reprobate into a Gallant Son, spurs the town to a frenzy of enthusiastic activity, and, most important to Nick, opens up new and spacious vistas of personal gain. That is, until a certain history professor arrives (from the North, of course) with information that, if revealed, can make the Stars and Bars hang at half-mast and can turn "Dixie" into a dirge. More than that, Nick realizes as he views the fanatic light burning in southern eyes, it can easily make him the final casualty of the Civil War.
